But damn, I loved the Bengals back in the day. That organization just leaves me shaking my head. Before the Colts got here people in the Indy area was stuck watching the Bengals and Bears every week. I was a Cowboys fan before the Colts got here but once the Colts got here I pretty much switched my alliance over to the Colts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 To me, it's been hard to root for the Bengals over the last half dozen years or so when they have signed guys like Pacman Jones, Burfict, etc. The leadership for that franchise seems to have no qualms over character issues. Colts fan first and always. Bengals are a diversion in a division where both the Steelers and the Ravens exist--two organizations I deplore.

Zlinedavid Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 2 hours ago, Seeking6 said: To me their franchise path was altered with leg injury to Carson Palmer in playoffs vs Steelers and 13 years later they still haven't recovered. I know it's been 3 decades since last playoff win but that team with Palmer at the helm was very, very, good I'd take it one step further: neither the Bengals nor Palmer ever fully recovered from that injury. Palmer did recover, but he didn't seem to have that extra edge that would have made him a truly elite QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Will be curious if Gerald McCoy ends up on Colts. Fits the scheme, I think Colts coach was his coach in Tampa and Colts obviously have cap space. Might really make sense to grab him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Time to fire this one back up with teams reporting today. Or someone can start a new one if they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 I was waiting for this thread to be resurrected!! I saw the other day that the Colts had the #1 future power ranking. Its not only us that feel some of the best times are still ahead of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears fan first but I really cheer for the Colts a close 2nd. Good times ahead for both franchises. Ballard said this morning he wants Darius Leonard to be more and more like Charles Tillman back in the day. Getting turnovers. So many crossovers with both franchises. Ballard was part of the Bears for some of our best ever drafts....and now Pagano is D Coordinator. Always glad to start talking football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 I think the Colts will win the South and finish 10-6 or maybe 11-5. I also think they will get to the AFC championship game and lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Cant get over how quickly we went from an abysmal OL to one of the top 5 in the league and have a lot of youth on it, as well. If you don't have an OL you have nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblaz13 Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 It's good to know the Colts and Browns are going to be worth taking seriously.I am more into IU and the college game, but if Indy and/or Cleveland are good that's different.I tend to always stay watching and loyal as a fan for the rough years so why not.

If you don't have an OL you have nothing. Yep. We'll see if Grigson and his ineptness in addressing the Oline shortens Luck's career. One (of the many) thing I like about Ballard is he didn't hide from saying on day 1 at his hiring press conference O/D line wins in the NFL and it will always be addressed under his watch.

Luck has got to love having a great O-line as well. I suspect a bad line took a couple of years off his career, and I'm not talking about the time he already lost.
